Video-laparoscopic assessment of the small bowel in Crohn’s disease: a comparative study to evaluate surgeons’ inter-observer variability

Abstract
Assessment of the entire small bowel is advocated during Crohn’s disease (CD) surgery, as intraoperative detection of new lesions may lead to change in the planned procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter-observer variability in the assessment of extent and severity of CD at the small bowel laparoscopic “walkthrough”.
